Romance Books, Bookish Conversations, and Whatever Else Has Us Buzzing
Buzzing About Romance is a podcast created by romance readers, for romance readers. Since 2020, we’ve been talking about the books we love, the tropes we can’t stop discussing, what’s happening around Romancelandia, and the stories that keep us coming back for another happily ever after.
As the podcast has grown, so have we. Our current format gives us room to talk about romance books while also digging into larger conversations happening in books, publishing, pop culture, and other media.
From wildly specific microtropes and Book Club discussions to publishing conversations, adaptations, romance in television and movies, and whatever else has caught our attention that week, we’re here to talk about the things that make reading fun, interesting, frustrating, chaotic, and worth discussing.
You can find Buzzing About Romance wherever you listen to podcasts.
Our Episodes
Buzzing About Romance currently features two types of podcast episodes: Sunday Episodes and Author Spotlights.
Sunday Episodes
Our Sunday episodes are the heart of Buzzing About Romance and cover whatever has us buzzing that week.
You might hear us talking about:
- Romance tropes and microtropes
- Bookish topics and conversations happening around Romancelandia
- Book Club reviews and discussions
- Romance stories in television, movies, and other media
- Publishing and reading trends
- New releases, old favorites, and books we can’t stop thinking about
- Other topics that wander a little outside the romance-book lane because sometimes we simply want to talk about them
These episodes are conversational, reader-focused, and designed to feel like sitting down with your bookish friends to talk about whatever is happening in our corner of the world.
Sunday Episodes are recorded and livestreamed on YouTube on Sundays at 9:00 p.m. ET. After the livestream, the episode is released through our RSS feed and becomes available on all major podcast platforms.
Author Spotlight Episodes
Our Author Spotlights are dedicated conversations with romance authors about their books, writing, characters, careers, and the stories behind their stories.
Unlike our Sunday Episodes, Author Spotlights are pre-recorded and are not livestreamed. Once completed, they are released directly through our RSS feed and are available wherever you listen to podcasts.
These conversations give us an opportunity to go beyond a standard promotional interview and talk with authors about their latest release, their creative process, the inspiration behind their stories, and what readers can expect next.
Important Scheduling Information for Authors & Publicists
Standard Author Spotlights are not guaranteed to air on a book’s release date or on any specific requested date.
We make every effort to release Author Spotlight episodes within approximately six weeks of the featured book’s release date. However, exact publication timing depends on our recording and production schedule, host and guest availability, holidays, vacations, and previously scheduled content.
If an author, publisher, or publicist requires an episode to publish on a specific date, on release day, or as part of a coordinated promotional campaign, that would need to be arranged as a paid sponsored episode and is subject to availability.
Our regular Sunday Episodes and standard Author Spotlights are editorial content. Buzzing About Romance is not currently offering traditional podcast advertising placements.
Want to Be Featured?
Authors, publishers, and publicists interested in an Author Spotlight should review our Booking Policies and Criteria before submitting a request.
Submitting a request does not guarantee placement, an interview, or a specific publication date. Because of our recording and production schedule, we recommend reaching out well in advance of a book’s release.
